AMERICANS ARE EXTRAVAGANT IN
SPENDING.
Having more money than
any other nation, Americans
proceed to squander it in a
way that makes foreigners
dizzy. Their extravagances
take innumerable forms.
During the racing season
they bet a million dollars eve¬
ry day—and lose most of it.
American women spend about
$4,000,000 a year for feathers
to wear on their hats, and
small boys get an early start
as s pendthrifts by squandering
$1,000,000 a month for pea
nuts and popcorn.
The people of Chicago
t pend $100,000 every week
in going to their theaters, and
they spent more than that sum
last fall on the series of cham
pionship ball games. A New
York firm reports sale of $250
000 worth of rugs for one
man’s house; a Philadelphia
jeweler a $100,000 ruby to
complete one woman’s col¬
lection of jewels, and now
comes a New Yorker who
spends $3,500,000 for a site
for a private residence.
The annual expenditure in
this country for little things
like golf sticks and balls is
$2,000,000, and golf is a new
game here. When it comes
to speculation Americans are
the easiest of easy marks.
During the last twelve months
the get-rich-quick element in
the United States has invested
enough money in wildcat min
ing schemes to pay off the
government debt.
The Atlantic liners have
suites of rooms which cost
$2,000 a voyage in the sum¬
mer, and these apartments
never lack for occupants.
Americans are exceptionally
extravagant in their travels.
In Cairo, Egypt, the manager
of the largest hotel reports
that 70 per cent of his guests
are Americans. Fully 50,000
Americans go to Paris every
year.
The keepers of the great
shops of the French metropo¬
lis would think dull times had
struck them if the easy money
of the Yankee spenders should
stop falling on their counters.
Uncle Sam’s tourists are so
generous in their expenditures
that in most parts os the world
the natives ask them just as
much again as they do travel
ers from other countries. Bead
sellers and curio venders in
the West Indies know that a
Yankee will readily pay a half
dollar for an article that a
Britisher will hesitate to pur¬
chase for a shilling.
And Americans squander
untold millions in travel in
their own country. It is esti¬
mated that the tourists
. spend $25,000,000 in southern
California every year, The!
number of people who visit
Niagara Falls during an ordi¬
nary year is between 700,000
and 800,000, and in years
when many excursions are
run from distances the number
.ot visitors exceeds a million.
The amount of raonej spent
here by the tourists is incalcu¬
lable. They spend all the
way from $2 to $2,000 apiece,
l'he last estimate may seem
high but when people come
with their retinues of servants
and take whole suites, or sev¬
eral suites of rooms in the big
hotels, and make large pur¬
chases of bric-a-brac, furs and
curios $1,000 does not last
long.
The Yellowstone National
Park, with its natural wonders
and beauties of nature, at¬
tracts upward of 20,000 visit¬
ors a year,,the majority of
whom come from east of the
Alleghenies. Railroad fare to
and from this park to such
sightseers means almost as
much expense as a trip to
Europe. The Yosemite Val¬
ley, inaccessible as it is, is
visited by 5,000 sightseers
yearly, nearly all of whom
come from great distances.
The volume of travel to
Colorado has increased so rap¬
idly during the last few years
that, although carpenters have
been kept busy through the
entire winter building new ho¬
tels, each summer the accom¬
modations of the state are
taxed to the utmost. During
the last year some sixty con¬
ventions were held in Denver.
Thousands of travelers go
down the St. Lawrence every
summer,thousands more flock
to Florida in the winter, Al
though Asheville, N. C.,is not
looked upon as one of the
great national show places, it
is now attracting 10,000 visit¬
ors every year.
Americans are enthusiastic
for expositions, celebrations
and conventions. At the St.
Louis Exposition one morning
a group of newspaper men
and officials were talking
about the money that has been
squandered in this country on
expositions. A reporter asked
an exposition official if it
would be possible to estimate
the sum and compare it with
something. This was the re¬
ply :
“Just say that if all the
money that has been thrown
away on expositions in the
United States was gathered
together and put in a heap it
would make a pile so high
that you couldn’t fly a balloon
over it. ”—New York Sun.
In a “picture gallery,” ap¬
pearing on the front page of a
certain paper not many miles
from Spring Place, there ap
pears a picture of an Indian
house, along with other scenes
in its community. If there is
a house there like the picture
describes it to be we would
like to see it, as everybody
has been under the impression
that there is only one in the
country and it is in Spring
Place. It is the opinion of a
few people that the two hous¬
es must be the same thing,
only just a little difference of
opinion as to when they were
built and by whom] Spring
Place has a lot of relics of by¬
gone days, but our Indian
house is the oldest of all, and
we loath to give it up to
any other place.

Sam Devine, the greatest
electric railway promoter in
the south, arid the man 'who
iias built all the electric rail
ways in Chattanooga, was in
Murray Saturday and Sunday
looking out a route for an elec¬
tee road which he proposes to
build from Chattanooga to
some point in our county,con¬
necting with the L.&N.road.
He had intended to come out
by Cuhutta Junction and from
there to Cohutta Springs, but
the people of Dalton have of¬
fered him some nice induce
ments, and, with the proper
help from Spring Place and
community he will come our
way. Every man should give
him right of way through his
farm if he wants it, and we
are of the opinion that he will
be put to very little trouble to
get one free of charge. This
project will be a great thing
for Murray county it it mate¬
rializes, and everyone should
lend a helping hand. Let’s
get together right away and
see what can be done.
